Lidsville? What the heck...

Oh, sweet Jesus. I had somehow repressed the existence of that show years ago. Looking at images and YouTube clips it is all rushing back like some horrible repressed memory.

Gah!

What can I say, except, “You’re welcome!”

You see in the late 60s and early 70s Saturday morning kids’ shows writer & producers did drugs. I mean a lot of drugs. Thus Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Lidsville, H.R. Puffinstuff and the rest.

Hell even Scooby Doo had some serious stoner elements and that was tame compared to everything by Sid and Marty Krofft.

[Oh?

Some people suggested that the Krofft brothers were influenced by marijuana and LSD, although they have always denied these claims. In a 2005 interview with USA Today, Marty Krofft said, “No drugs involved. You can’t do drugs when you’re making shows. Maybe after, but not during. We’re bizarre, that’s all.”[2] Referring to the alleged LSD use, Marty said in another interview, “That was our look, those were the colors, everything we did had vivid colors, but there was no acid involved. That scared me. I’m no goody two-shoes, but you can’t create this stuff stoned.”[3]
